A primary school in Katlehong on the East Rand of Gauteng has been set alight, allegedly by protesting residents who are demanding electricity in the area, the education department said on Thursday.
A case of arson has been opened at a police station in the area, Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi’s office confirmed.
Gauteng police could not immediately confirm the incident.
Lesufi took to Twitter on Thursday afternoon posting pictures of the gutted Katlehong Primary School and expressing his outrage.
In the tweet, he said the government would not spend any money fixing the primary school.
“People of Katlehong, this is what is left of Katlehong Primary School because the community is protesting against lack of electricity. This is completely unacceptable. Forget it if you think we will fix it! You will see to finish,” said Lesufi.
